I was trying to get steps to efficiently rebuild a sql server 2005 cluster environment on Windows 2008. Currently on Windows 2003 and sql server 2005. There are stability issues with the current step up. I want to rebuild the environment that has approximately 25 databases. What are the steps involved? What to do or How to move over the databases form the other environment ?

You are doing the equivalent of an upgrade here, side by side.
Moving databases: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administration/movingyouruserswiththeirdatabases/2124/
For upgrades, this will help: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Upgrade/65872/
The big things are moving security, scripting out and moving jobs/packages, and ensuring you have patched/configured the new instance to match the old.

What need to be script out and how to handle the master database and so forth. Moving from sql 2005 windows 2003 to Sql 2005 on windows 2008. The only upgrade is wto windows 2008. The windows 2008 cluster is already built. I have to install sql server 2005 and move over all databases.
